Buying a used electric car is different from buying a petrol car. The battery is the most expensive component, and you can't judge it by looking at it. The car's own dashboard reading comes from the manufacturer's software, which varies between brands and can be optimistic.

German Precision's EV Pre-Purchase Inspection covers both the whole vehicle and the battery. Two inspections, one visit, one price. Klaus comes to the car, wherever it is in Melbourne or regional Victoria, so you don't need to arrange a drop-off.
